A. diplotaenia - Wild fish from Rio Negro

[cawa1031]

Thanks cawa, yes i am back after settling some personal affairs.
^.^ have you got some new apistos recently? I have found a lot
of interesting apistos in the list from Basil Aquarium (Taiwan - "Stone")

I've seen the fish few days ago in basil
but I didn't find things special...
I think all the "good" fish were send to H.K. this time , maybe...

Oh... then, maybe the good ones have already been purchased by both Taiwan hobbylists and also Hong Kong's hobbyists... you know, many many people (including me) are waiting for the new shipments when the importing season restarts after the summer ^_^ BTW, are there some new arrivals in Big-Rice??

I see... well, you probably could find some Diplos, Mendezis in the HK fish street (i.e. Tung-Choi Street, which is near MongKok KCR station/ Prince Edward MTR station.

any shops in particular ???

thanks

hmm... i know their name in chinese only...
could you read/recognize chinese? I could also
tryto give you names of a few stores which have an english name;

anyhow, i remember you also know "Ah Foung" From
the "Grass Store", right? His store has quite a number of
fish and he also knows the way... if you trust him, he could
provide you a good guide.

I knew that the Big-Rice got some new fish like A. bitaeniata (Tefe,Manaquiri,Marmuri) from Oliver
but I didn't see them yet...

oh i see... and what are the feelings/comments on big-rice's
fish by hobbyists in taiwan? ... to be frank, he has got too many "wild" fish that i cannot believe to be wild-born and wild-caught...

sometimes I also feel a little bit "strange" when looking at his fish...
but all of us don't know how Oliver deal with these fish,
and we als did not see the process when fisherman caught them.
so I think even Big-Rice don't know the answer of your question...
but there is one thing we should admit,
the fish are looking good from him...

what i have heard of is, Oliver has some tanks in his home, he is
also active in catching / searching for fish in the natural habitat... my thought is, he definitely has some F1, F2 fish.. . and i do not believe that he will not trade them... so... big-rice's fish may very likely be, at least partially, the tank-bred fish by Oliver if his fish realy come from Oliver...

well, his shop is now on the first level (i.e. ground floor) along the same street... you could see the shops' chinese names in green in the top banner of the shop. BTW, have you ever mentioned me in front of him? He once said that a singapore friend asked him about me.. hehee
